We visited Boru's new relocation on Essen, and it was busy as expected with their recent reopening…read more Although there was a 45 minute wait, we were able to take advantage of it and go play the claw machines to make the time pass by quicker. The menu was still similar to the old one, with some new additions to the appetizers like being able to order a small or large karaage, wong wings, takoyaki, etc. We ordered karaage and cucumbers to share, but they completely forgot to add any ponzu sauce. It seems to be a recurring issue with this app where there is always something that is missed, whether it be the sauce or a garnish. It's cool that they decided to merge/ combine sweet society and their new claw machine arcade all into one establishment, but the new dining space here honestly felt a bit claustrophobic, so it was difficult to comfortably enjoy ourselves. With that being said, I unfortunately don't see ourselves returning for boru, but possibly for dessert.

I may or may not really like the ramen at this place. With my recent love of ramen, I have been…read moretrying different places and this one is one I keep coming back to. I love the packaging and the portion size is great for the price. My only kicker is that I always ask for spicy chicken ramen and have to pay extra for it but it's not even close to spicy. The wings and the chicken stick appetizer is the perfect addition to the ramen.

If you are looking for flavor bombs this is the place to eat. I order the black tonkotsu ramen. Holy moly. That's what I said after every single bite. The broth was so flavorful and delicious. I did get the combo with the gyoza and house salad. The gyoza is fried and delicious with a sauce that is packed with a punch. So yummy!! My husband ordered the karaage chicken ramen. I love that the chicken comes on the side. It crunched and cooked to perfection. Again the broth is so full of flavor. This place gets a 10/10 from me. If we are even in the area we are eating here again.

We arrived 15 minutes before opening and were allowed to set in the waiting area until they were ready to seat us. Dayan our waitress was incredible, I think we should start recognizing this type of exemplary service. The appetizers was the calamari, and treasure island which was a delicious sushi appetizer. The calamari flavor was seasoned different but in a great way. It's like they have their own signature flavors. The Bento boxes were excellent value, and the 2 for 11 dollar sushi rolls were excellent with the added benefit good value. Do get the salmon, fried crispy, just a wonderful bite. Love the open and inviting ambiance. Beat we've had in a while, and the service is second to none. Oh don't forget they have a cotton candy machine, cool to watch.

On a rainy day, my son and I decided to kill some time and grab lunch at Koko Ramen…read more We walked into an empty restaurant that, while clean, definitely could use some updating. Most of the seats were torn, which was one of the first things we noticed. We grabbed our own menus and waited a few minutes for the waitress to come over. We both ordered waters, but my son's had floating green particles on top that looked like green onions. Instant turn off. I ordered a poke bowl and he ordered ramen. I do wish both dishes would've come out together. Once we started eating, I could tell pretty quickly my poke bowl was anything but fresh. The cucumbers tasted sour, the edamame was mushy, and the amount and quality of the fish was disappointing for the price. My son had a similar experience with his ramen. He said the wontons tasted like nothing, although the broth and noodles themselves weren't bad. This little restaurant honestly has so much potential, which is why I hate leaving a negative review for a mom-and-pop place. But for the prices being charged, the ingredients really need to be fresher. Unfortunately, we would not return

Enjoyed my visit here for happy hour. We ordered the Rib Stack, Hot Honey Wings, Veggie Fried Rice,…read moreHot Honey Chicken Bao Bun, and Crispy Fish Bao Bun. Overall, everything was good. The standout for me was the veggie fried rice. It had great flavor, and I'd honestly come back for that alone. The Snake Wrangler drink was also a favorite. The only downside was the hot honey. It was very light on both the wings and the bao bun, so the flavor didn't come through as much as expected. Service was efficient and attentive. It's a nice, quaint spot with a cozy patio and indoor seating. Still a solid happy hour option, and I'd definitely return.

My choice of the Asian Sticky Ribs was delicious, the sushi was ok not really a big burst of flavor that I would hope. My daughter enjoyed her Drunken Noodles and has deemed this restaurant as being placed on her Fav's list. The owner is such a gem and so welcoming. We enjoyed our visit during what was one of the busiest days of Government St. one year for "White Lights". She gave it a 9/10 only because one of the drinking glasses had food residue, but other than that it was good.

I was also able to try the tonkotsu black and it was really good! We were a huge group and we were glad to see they had a table that could accomodate us. The servers were very nice. We had problems with some of our orders though. They forgot to add the ramen eggs in our bowls and, when they brought it to our table, we had to slice them in half ourselves which was a struggle to do since all of us had chopsticks lol It was also a struggle trying to flag down somebody to help us with some of the wrong orders but it was a busy hour so we understand.
